Résumé / Abstract : Thisbookcontainsthepapersofthe4thInternationalConferenceonComputers andGames(CG2004)heldattheBar-IlanUniversityinRamat-Gan,Israel.The conference tookplace during July 5–7,2004,in conjunction with the 12th World Computer-Chess Championship (WCCC) and the 9th Computer Olympiad. ThebiennialComputersandGamesconferenceseriesisamajorinternational forum for researchers and developers interested in all aspects of arti?cial int- ligence in computer-game playing. After two terms in Japan and one in North America, the fourth conference was held in Israel. The Program Committee (PC) received 37 submissions. Each paper was i- tially sent to two referees. Only if con?icting views on a paper were presented, was it sent to a third referee. With the help of many referees (see list after this preface), the PC accepted 21 papers for presentation and publication after a post-conference editing process. For the majority of the papers this implied a second refereeing process. The PCinvited BrianSheppardasa keynotespeakerfor CG 2004.Moreover, Dr. Sheppard was Guest of Honour at the 9th Computer Olympiad and reci- ent of the 2002 ChessBase Award for his publication “Towards Perfect Play of Scrabble.” Dr. Sheppard’s contribution “E?cient Control of Selective Simu- tions”wastakenasthestartoftheseproceedingsandasaguidelinefortheorder of the other contributions.
